About Momentum
Opportunity, for every student
Momentum is a student-led business case competition built on the belief that opportunity in business and leadership should never depend on where you come from or what you can afford.
01 / Why it exists
A fair shot at a big room.
Momentum is a student-led, financially accessible high school business conference. It was built on the simple belief that meaningful business and leadership opportunities should be accessible to every youth — regardless of background, previous experience, or financial constraints.
We address financial barriers directly by keeping the conference free and open to all high school students from across Greater Vancouver. There is no entry fee, and no prior case-competition experience is expected. What matters is the willingness to think, collaborate, and present.
02 / Conference flow
From case to pitch, in a day.
The inaugural conference followed a simple rhythm: arrive together, work through the case, learn from people who have done it, and present what the team believes.
Check-in & opening
Delegates arrive at UBC Sauder, meet their teams, and hear the welcome address.
Case release
The business case is unveiled and the preparation window begins.
Lunch & speakers
Fuel up and hear from youth speakers between working sessions.
Presentations
Teams present their recommendations to professional judging panels.
Awards & networking
Winners are announced, followed by open networking to close the day.
03 / The first chapter
A day at Momentum.
Momentum’s first iteration brought together high school delegates from across Greater Vancouver for a full day of strategy, presentation, and connection — capped by a $1,000 cash prize and an iPhone 17e for the winning team.
04 / Keep moving
The next chapter is coming.
Dates for the next Momentum Case Competition are still to be announced. Ask the team to be notified when registration opens, and revisit the first chapter in the gallery.
